Description

The Plaka is the old district of Athens, and has been an active part of the city throughout the centuries.

In this area, the visitor enjoys a unique combination of old and new, and experiences the pleasure of strolling around the narrow streets, among the Greeks and foreigners who are enjoying a leisurely coffee under the Acropolis, or browse in the numerous shops of the area.

From the city centre, we will proceed to the Mitropolis Cathedral, and the tiny 12thcentury church of Panayia Gorgoepikoos, which is located next to it. Pandrossou Street will then lead us to Monastiraki square. Today a vibrant and colourful area, it has a metro station and is surrounded by numerous monuments like Hadrian’s Library. We will follow Adrianou Street to the Roman Agora, and admire the outstanding Tower of the Winds, before we proceed to the Monument of Lysicrates.

You will enjoy lunch at a typical restaurant that serves Greek specialties (drinks NOT included)

It is a walking tour in the area of Plaka

We can provide round trip transfers from/to your hotel also with private vehicle if the hotel is not walking distance from Plaka

This tour can also take place in the afternoon and the lunch can become dinner

Our family just returned from an amazing trip to Greece. We traveled with our two children, ages 11 and 7. Mariza Anyfanti, tour guide and archaeologist, accompanied us for a half day tour of Athens and a 3 day trip to Meteora and Delphi. We were highly impressed with the type of service that Mariza provided for our family. She is an expert in her field and loves what she does. She was professional, punctual, kind to our children, and very knowledgeable on every single place we visited. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. Our driver, Yiannis, showed the same type of professionalism. He was courteous, kind, always on time and flexible to our needs since we had two children with us. His car was impeccable and he had water, etc readily available if needed. He knew the area we traveled to very well and was able to point out many places of interest because of his experience in traveling the area. We would highly recommend Mariza and Yiannis.

Hellenic Tours did a great job working with our travel agent in the States to plan a great first trip to Greece. In each stop we were greeted with either a welcome packet from Hellenic Tours or a friendly face to give us an overview of our stay.

Hellenic Tours was a pleasure to work with, and did a great job arranging transportation and tours for us while in Greece! We had a little trouble reaching them on the phone, but our hotels were able to once we asked. Overall, we would recommend them to other travelers!
